Q&A: House Flipping Still at Home on Reality TV

Boom or bust, flipping never really goes out of style, particularly on reality TV.

“Flip Men” on Spike TV follows two guys flipping homes in Utah, dealing with everything from a former homeowner demanding money to a home with a drive-thru meth lab. The second season is under way.

Cameras follow Mike Baird and Doug Clark as they buy homes at auction — typically without seeing the inside — and then make split-second decisions as they race to get the home back onto the market quickly enough to turn a profit. Mr. Baird, who grew up in San Diego and attended Brigham Young University, and Mr. Clark, a Utah native and a former airline captain, talked with Developments about their adventures.
